Created by illustrator Keegan Wenkman as an affordable product in his recent exhibition in Minneapolis, these prints needed as much work on the back end as they did on the front end.

The printing went great and took two days. The color separations, on the other hand, took about three months as Joe and Wes had to completely recreate every pen line and brush stroke in PS. I usually do my own separations but this time when they sent me the file for approval and I couldn’t figure how they did it, since they used stochastic dots instead of a halftone to get a more meaty color and better representation of the original art.

It is interesting to see how a process we are used to seeing at a lower “resolution” can work under different parameters.
